The forthcoming Spending Review will be undertaken on a targeted basis operating in parallel to the Estimates process for 2018. Rather than a comprehensive review of all of the Departments expenditure this review has been designed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to be a system of rolling selective reviews. All current Departmental expenditure - with the exception of pay rates - will be examined over a three year period. In addition, where appropriate, capital grants will also be included in the Review process.

The allocation to the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund has not been selected for review in 2017.
